First of all, ladies and gentlemen, you must forget that you are singers.

First of all, ladies and gentlemen, you must forget that you are singers.

First of all, ladies and gentlemen, you must forget that you are singers.

First of all, ladies and gentlemen, you must forget that you are singers.

First of all, ladies and gentlemen, you must forget that you are singers.
